DEVICE FOR ROLLING UR WAPPIING CHN..

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 672,325, dated April 16, 1901.

Application filed September 22, 1900l Serial N0 301795- (NO mOdel-J To t1/ZZ wir/0711, it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. GOLD- BECK, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Devices for Rolling orWrapping Coin, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a device for rolling or wrapping coin, the same embodying means for supporting the wrapping material and the block of coin thereon and steadyiug the block at the ends thereof.

It also consists in adapting end-steadying means to be adjusted as to the different centers of coins.

It further consists of a gage and guide for the wrapping material, the same being adjustable in width relatively to the length of the block of coin.

It also consists of novel details of construction, as will be hereinafterset forth, and pointed out in the claims.

Figure l represents a top or plan View of a coin rolling or wrapping device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 representsa longitudinal vertical section thereof on line at Fig. l. Fig. 3 represents a transverse vertical section of a portion on line y y, Fig. l. Fig. 4 represents a bottom plan view thereof. Fig. 5 represents a transverse section of a portion on line a e, Fig. 4.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a frame or casing in which are mounted the transversely-extending parallel rollers B.

C designates transversely-extending fingers which are elevated above the space between the two rollers and project toward each other, they being supported on the arms D, which are guided in the boxes E on the sides of the casing A. The lower portions D' of said arms are pivotally connected, as at D27 with the inner ends of the levers F, which are mounted on the rock-shaft Gr, which has its bearings on the lower portion of the casing A, the axial portions of said levers having racks H thereon, the same meshing with each other, whereby the levers may be made to simultaneously open and close, and thus impart uniform motions to the arms D, and consequently to the fingers C. In order to return the levers, and consequently the fingers C, to their rst positions, I provide the springs J, portions of which are coiled around the stud K on the rock-shaft G and bear against the pins F or other proper portions of said levers.

L designates upright plates forming gages and guides for the wrapping-paper employed, the same extending in longitudinal direction over the rollers B at the sides of the top of the casing A and over portions of said top rearwardly of said rollers, where the guards are connected with rack-bars M, each of the latter being guided in a recess N in the top of the casing A and engaged with the pinion P, which is mounted as at N', whereby said rack-bars are geared together and the plates L may be simultaneously moved toward or from each other.

Connected with the casing A, near the top thereof, is the spring plate or catch Q, which is provided with the pin R, the latter being adapted to enter either of the openings S in the adjacent rackbar M, so as to lock the same, it being noticed that on a plate on the upper side of the casing A are a series of graduations and numbers S corresponding to the different coins to be rolled, one of the rack-bars M having an indicating-mark T thereon, whereby the plates L may be set to the different lengths of blocks of coins, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.

In the sides of the guards L are openings T', which permit the fingers C to pass therethrough.

U designates a lever which is mounted, as at U', on the side of the casing A, in the present case on the wall of one of the boxes E, and having on its lower end the pin V, which projects freely under the arms D', it being evident that by properly turning the said lever U said pin, and consequently said arms D, may be raised and lowered, thus adjusting the fingers C in height relatively to the centers of different blocks of coins. On the upper side of the box E on which the lever U is mounted is a face-plate W, having graduations and numbers W thereon, the same being adapted to set the lever U relatively to the denomination of coins to be rolled, it being also noticed that said lever is provided with the pin X, which may enter either of lOO The levers F have connected with themtne A cords Z, the same being guided on the rollers Z on the table Z2, which is attached to the casing A, whereby the handle ends of the levers Y may be closed' by drawing down said cords Z-say by a foot-lever-when so desired.

Interposed between the levers F and the table Z2 is a spring Z3, whereby when 4the levers F are lowered by the operation of the treadle said spring serves as a buffer to receive the impact of the levers in their descent and when the treadles are let go to return said levers to their normal positions.

The operation is as follows: The catch Q'is withdrawn, so as to release the rack-bars M, and the plates L may be then set to the width of the wrapping-paper. The lever U is also moved so as to elevate the arms D to the required extent, thus setting thefingers C so as to center the same on the sides of the roll of coin. The levers F are also operated, whereby the fingers C separate, after which a piece of paper or other material suitable for wrapping, as shown dotted at ot in Fig. 2, is now placed on the rollers and a block of coin rested on said piece, said roll being shown dotted in said figure, as at b. The levers F are now let go, whereby the fingers Cpress against the sides of the block of coin at the center thereof, thus steadying said block and preventing lateral separation thereof. The paper is then wrapped around the block by hand while resting on the rollers B and guided by the plates L, forming a true and perfect cylinder of the paper. The fingers are next withdrawn from the sides of the block by the operation of the levers F and the ends of the cylinder bent or folded down over the sides of the block, and thus the coin is envelopedl or wrapped, it then being removed from the rollers, when the operation of wrapping another block may be repeated, it being noticed that the plates L may be set to blocks of different lengths, owing to the variations in the dimensions of the coin, while the fingers C may be adjust-ably centered on the ends of the block by properly locating the pin V, due to the operation of the lever U. It will also be noticed that the rear roller B is of greater diameter than the other roller, so as to form a shoulder or rise as an abutment against which the cylinder abuts, so that the latter is prevented from displacement while being rolled.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

I. In a coin rolling or wrapping device, means for supporting a block of coin, a centering-finger for the end of said block, a carrier for said finger and means connected with said carrier for withdrawing the finger from the block.

2. In a coin rolling or wrapping device, supporting-rollers and centering-fingers, carriers for the latter, and levers attached to said carriers for separating and returning the fingers.

3. In a coin rolling orwrapping device, supporting-rollers and centering-fingers, carriers lfor said fingers, levers attached to said carriers for separating and returning the same,

j a rock-shaft on which said levers are mounted,

and means for raising and lowering said carriers, whereby the fingers may be adjustably centered as to different coin.

4. In a coin rolling or wrapping device, a centering-finger for a block of coin, a rising and falling carrier for the same, and a lever having a member adapted to engage with said carrier, whereby said finger may be vertically adjusted relatively to centers of coins of different denominations.

5. In a coin rolling or wrapping device, a centering-finger for a block of coin, a rising and falling carrier for the same, a lever having a member adapted to engage with said carrier, whereby said finger may be vertically adjusted relatively to centers of coins of different dimensions, and a graduated plate for setting said lever.

6. In a coin rolling or wrapping device, a centering-finger for a block of coin, a rising and falling carrier for the same, a lever having a member adapted to engage with said carrier, whereby said finger may be vertically adj usted relatively to centers of coins of different dimensions, a graduated plate for set- .ting said lever, and a locking device for the latter.

7. In a device for rolling or wrappingcoin, a casing, rollers mounted thereon, a centering-finger at the side thereof, and means for moving said finger in opposite directions, said casing having a guide for said finger in its lateral motions.

8. In a device for rolling or wrapping coin, a frame, means thereon for supporting a block of coin, a guide for the wrapping material, a
